cdawnb Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Apparently I am conflicted, I read this post and thought: The nudity in Marco Polo is totally gratuitous and a little distracting. It is so in your face you start to forget there are like 10 naked women on the screen at once. Then I read this and thought: I would totally like to see some of the Vikings women naked (if that is what you are saying, there is nudity on Euro Vikings). I am a pig. :lol: Yeah, there is some. Aslaug, Siggy, Porunn and Helga all show some skin through the two seasons. And of course there are the men running around without shirts, so I don't begrudge you.

cdawnb Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Is there a character named Porn? :P Forgot about that. Heh, auto correct strikes again. :blushing: Incidentally, does anyone know the correct spelling for that name? I used the one off IMDB but I have seen it spelled a couple of different ways.

cdawnb Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Björn it is I think. That's Ragnar and Lagertha son. I am taking about the slave girl he fell in love with and was freed by Aslaug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Porn right? :p The spelling on IMDB will probably be correct no? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I have seen it spelled with a P or a Th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 No, thanks to tumblr, art work, nerds and celebs, etc, that show has spreaded faster then wildfire, but vikings as amazing as it is, lacks the flare, porn, hipster pull that brings in legions of people to it. As to quality, I can say I like it more, it lacks what shows like Marco and Games can't seem to help using: the ability to use nudity. Seriously, it gives it two more points because now I don't need to spend a third of the screen time seeing the vikings doing it. It also helps that it pulls from a time of true mystery, so it has liberties when it comes to accuracy. I hope it inspires more pieces(good ones) of the lost age, I would like to see the rise of Charles Martel, the Muslim invasion, and the beginning of the reconquest of Spain. Hipster quality? Got? Surely, you jest, as Got is as anti-hip as anything can be. Now I'll get beat up! :cheers: Of course, hip and hipster are not equivalents. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdawnb Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Who is that at 00.03? Is it Björn or is it a new actor for one of Ragnar's other sons? It's Björn. Mild spoiler. I am pretty sure they aren't doing another big time jump this season so it has to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 But seriously, I have seen it spelled with a P or a Th. I think the pronunciation is supposed to be closer to todays's English "th". The correct phonetical writing would be "Þ", but since it looks similar to "P" and usually cannot be found on a keyboard (I had to just copy that from Word), people write it with a "P". Phonetically, I do not think "P" makes any sense. I would rather use "th" in writing. And that is the extent of historical grammar I remember from my studying.

Myrddin Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 http://askarsgard.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Gustaf-Stellan-Alex-640px-%C3%97-448px.jpg Mind. Blown. I had no idea that Floki was related to Erik (ie sons of Dr. Selvig/Bootstap Bill) So, my wife and I just binge watched the first two seasons on Amazon Prime. Wow. Love this show. Can't wait until February. I'm trying so hard to avoid the spoiler links..... I looked up Ragnar on wiki, so I know the broad strokes of history 1200 years ago, but ... Must. Resist.

Zorral Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yah. Am about to begin season 2 rewatch via dvd. I recall that when I rewatched season 1 on dvd, I was even more impressed by the series than I was watching it weekly. So I'm looking forward to this.

Mark Antony Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Am I the only one who thought Earl Haraldson was a much better character than King Horik? Both are kinda weak though, in fact all of Ragnars fellow Viking enemies have been sort of weak, Jarl Borg was probably the best.Ecbert and Aelle ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I liked Borg. Was pretty meh on the others. Especially Horik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
